...they failed to weep with those who weep (Ro 12:15), and also preached Christ from envy & strife (Phil 1:15) ...selfish ambition (v16).  We are to let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, esteeming others better than ourselves (Phil 2:3).  There was a failure to look out for the interest of another (Phil 2:4).  Not to mention that a person shall not be put to death for someone else's sin, but the soul who sins shall die (Deu 24:16/Ez 18:4); all the more reason we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12).

It is true that if there is corporate sin, there is corporate punishment.  But also it is true that the righteous will not be judged with the wicked (Gen 18:16-33) just because the wheat and tares grow together (Mt 13:30); we are simply instructed to pray (1 Th 5:17) for the peace of a city, because in it's peace, we have peace (Jms 3:18). And Jesus reigns in the city of peace where love is (1 Cor 13), so would not behave rudely (1 Cor 13:5) by crashing someone's funeral with hate and accusation like how satan behaves (Rev 12:10).  Christ Jesus came to win the lost, not to hate, destroy, and condemn it (Jn 3:16/1 Jn 4:21/Mt 5:17/Jn 3:17).

This group is missing the mark on Who Jesus Christ is and i renounce this group for hiding behind both Church and State to do satan's bidding. 

It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance (Ro 2:4).  The Spirit of His Goodness (Gal 5:22) is filtered through the Love (1 Cor 13:4-8) of His character because You can't save what you fervently condemn, so yes exposing sin is necessary (Ep 5:11/Jn 3:20) but in the Light of God there is still The Way (2 Cor 7:10) to be holy (1 Pt 1:16) and present how to repent (1 Cor 12:4-5/1 Cor 14:24-25/Mk 16:16-17/Jms 5:16/1 Jn 1:9/Ro 10:13)  without destroying the person God created in His own Image (Gn 1:27).  God is sensitive and takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ez 18:32).  It is incorrect doctrine to suggest otherwise.
